Researchers have developed a new method for thawing frozen tissue that may enable long-term storage and subsequent viability of tissues and organs for transplantation. The method, called nanowarming, ...

A new technique that keeps brain tissue alive and functioning for close to a month has been described in a proof-of-concept design experiment using mouse tissue, published in Analytical Sciences ...

3D bioprinting combines cells, growth factors, and biomaterials to fabricate biomedical parts. The process requires special “bio-inks,” often made of materials like alginate or gelatin. A key goal is ...

Tissue oxygenation is a measure of the oxygen level in biological tissue and is a useful clinical biomarker for tissue viability. Abnormal levels may indicate the presence of conditions such as sepsis ...

Researchers recently conducted a study to identify small molecules slowing metabolism and mimicking states normally induced by hypothermia or hibernation. The final aim was the discovery of drugs to ...
